    Engine 'Stumbles' When When Accelerating

    I can't believe I missed the air filter. I got a new K&N swapped in and she's running much better. When it drops a gear it just goes now. She's still running a bit rough so I'll clean the MAF sensor this weekend. I also get a faint ticking occasionally, so I'm really hoping that's not lifters.

    Engine 'Stumbles' When When Accelerating

    Shoot, I knew I was forgetting something. Plugs and wires replaced in the past year as well. o2 sensors are unknown. It's been a busy year and I took care of as much as I could after buying her.

    Engine 'Stumbles' When When Accelerating

    I have been thinking about doing the air filter. It doesn't look too bad but it's also pretty cheap. I'll look into just replacing the MAF. I'd love a tune but don't really know what all goes into doing that... seems like it would be expensive. Sorry for not giving more details on my servicing...

    Engine 'Stumbles' When When Accelerating

    geez, sorry I guess I missed a space at the worst time. *hit it, not what they thought i said. Crank and cam sensors aren't too spendy, so I guess I could try that. But shouldn't I get a check engine light if they are bad? I think I have cleaned the MAF sensor but it's been a year so I could...

    Engine 'Stumbles' When When Accelerating

    My 2010 Yukon SLT 5.3 has a weird issue that I haven't been able to find anything online that's exactly the same. When I'm approaching an on-ramp and I hit the gas, sometimes I can feel the transmission downshift, then the engine revs up and starts to accelerate, but then it just... pauses for a...

    Parking Brakes Need Replaced

    Thanks everyone for the input. I must admit that I'm not much of a brakes guy (especially not drum) and wasn't aware of an adjustment to make on the shoes themselves. I thought it was just the cable. I'll have to check that. @OR VietVet - Typically quite true about not really having rust issues...

    Parking Brakes Need Replaced

    I bought my 2010 Yukon about a year ago and it's never had hardly any parking brakes since I've had it. The pedal has tension, so I think the cable is pulling and I'm guessing the shoes need replaced (not surprising at nearly 200k). I've been planning on replacing them but since they are under...

    Brake Pedal Squeaks!

    Sorry for going silent. I apparently don't get notifications from here. I actually saw your post right after posting mine. I do have the adjustable pedals. I'm not sure that has anything to do with my issue though, as I tried moving them back and forth and STILL heard the squeak. I like the...

    Brake Pedal Squeaks!

    Okay this might sound weird, but the brake pedal on my 2010 Yukon SLT squeaks when I press it. 100% it is inside and is NOT an issue with brake pads/rotors. Clearly not a big deal, but it drives me nuts. It's especially bad when I drive through my apartment complex with all the stupid speed...

    Brake lights out

    My fairly new to me 2010 Yukon SLT has no side brake lights, but the high mount works fine. All other taillights seem to be functional as well. I've checked one of the bulbs and brake light fuses and all look fine. I'm pretty stumped. I read somewhere to check the tail light circuit board...

    "New" truck- What to do first?

    Thank you for letting me know! That's the exactly the kind of thing I wanted to find out. Well, I mean it's not that I wanted it to be true. Looking at your signature line I see that you have a 6.2L. Does the same issue plague the 5.3? If so, is there an easy way to tell by looking at the valve...

    "New" truck- What to do first?

    Thanks for the responses and the warm welcome everyone! She's a dirty girl right now, so all I've got is a pic from the dealer's listing. I'll get her cleaned up and take my own pics soon. I didn't notice any mention of the battery cables or hoses. Other than my less than expert visual...

    "New" truck- What to do first?

    I just bought a 2010 Yukon SLT 4x4 with 181k miles. What should my top priorities be for maintenance and even mods? I'm out-voted on getting a lift, and we'd like the best gas mileage possible. The truck came with a load of service records, so it was well cared for. It had the transmission and...
